Phase equilibria in the system Al-Rh

Methods of differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, microstructural analysis and electron probe microanalysis are used to study alloys of the Al-Rh system over the whole concentration range. It is established that the phase of equiatomic composition AlRh melts congruently at 2060°C and it has an extended range of homogeneity (45.1–54.2 at.% Rh). The solubility of aluminum in rhodium reaches 9 at.%, decreasing to 6 at.% at 850°C. Coordinates are determined for the eutectic point l ⇆ AlRh + 〈Rh〉 as 70 at.% Rh and 1715°C. The existence of intermediate phases, their crystal structure, and also the method of forming phases in the field of composition rich in aluminum given in publications are confirmed. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Nos. 5–6(449), pp. 48–56, May–June, 2006.     

Digital forecasting control with the use of neural predictors

The use of prognostic control methods in the digital systems controlling asynchronous electric drives are considered. The methodology for synthesizing predictors on the basis of neural networks is explained. An example of the synthesis of a numeral predictor for a closed control loop is considered.     

Textural states of a hot-worked MA2-1 magnesium alloy

Quantitative texture analysis is used to study texture formation in an MA2-1 magnesium alloy subjected to axisymmetric upsetting at temperatures of 250–450°C and strain rates of 10^?4–10^{0 ?1}. The deformed structure is examined by optical microscopy, and the results obtained are used to plot the structural-state diagram of the alloy after 50% upsetting. The experimental textures are compared with the textures calculated in terms of a thermoactivation model.     

Determination of the fracture toughness of inhomogeneous three-layer fusion claddings on compact specimens

We propose a method for the evaluation of the fracture toughness (K _1C ) of multilayer fusion claddings on compact specimens at elevated temperatures (20, 70, and 300°C) with cladding (in the slot) of three layers of materials with gradually increasing crack resistance. As the testing temperature increases, the value of K _1C decreases for harder and stronger fusion claddings and, vise versa, increases for less strong and softer materials. __________ Translated from Fizyko-Khimichna Mekhanika Materialiv, Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 121–122, May–June, 2007.     

Investigation of the Thermal Conductivity of Methanol–n-Hexanol Mutual Solutions at High Parameters of State

The thermal conductivity of methyl and normal hexyl alcohols and of methanol–n-hexanol solutions in wide ranges of temperature and pressure are measured in a facility implementing the regular regime method. The regularity of variation of the thermal conductivity of binary solutions with concentration is found.
